IN HISTORIC ANGELS CAMP, CA · FREE TO SPECTATORS!

A NOTE ON 2025

Cancelled in 2025. Back for 2026.

In 2025 the event had to be cancelled so the site could be used to assist Cal-Fire in helping save lives and property in dangerous wildfires that were in the area. We're celebrating the 6th annual in 2026 and back to where it all started — a multi-day, classic, vintage BMX festival celebrating the history and action of BMX as it had originally developed.

We look forward to you joining and supporting the event again after two years of this event not happening in the region for the fans of vintage and modern BMX racing and fun!

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE EVENT

Founders.

CO-FOUNDER

Todd Huffman

A local professional BMX racer from Placerville, CA who raced a few times at Frogtown before moving to Southern California to begin a career in the bicycle industry and became a documentary filmmaker. He brainstormed the event with Johnny Valdez when he learned the open field where the racetrack was originally located was still there, undisturbed.
CO-FOUNDER · UBR (1977–1982)

Johnny Valdez

Creator, owner and President of the United Bicycle Racers (UBR) from 1977 to 1982. The UBR was a BMX sanctioning body in Central and Northern California with hundreds of BMX racer members and organizing hundreds of BMX races each year on tracks all over the upper parts of the state. Johnny is now a major supplier of team and crew uniforms for BMX, Motocross / Supercross and other motorsports teams.

These two old friends and a dedicated team of volunteers helped make the first Frogtown Classic BMX Days one for the ages, setting a new trend around the world and setting it up for success in the years to come.

FROGTOWN BMX HISTORY

Since 1977.

The history of the Frogtown BMX track began in 1977 when John Valdez from the UBR was asked to operate a BMX race in the horseshow arena at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds — home of the famous Frog Jumping contest the area is known for ("The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," an 1865 short story by Mark Twain).

The event was a success and moved the next year to its permanent and legendary downhill site where this year's event will be held. It ran local UBR races and national events with riders and professionals from all over the country until 1982.

Over the years the Frogtown BMX track legend grew, hosting BMX legends like Brent and Brian Patterson, Jeff Kosmala, Frank Post, John Crews, and Stanley Robinson.
